Here are the photos of people I meet on the streets, in the shops, cafes and everywhere else. All taken with my old film cameras-Hasselblad 500CM and Nikon FM2. I shoot analog because feel that shooting film, and processing it manually makes me more engaged in the process of photography.
I love meeting people and shooting them.
Feel free to contact me if you like my work, and you need some shots to build your portfolio, or you'd like to just try modeling. If you're in Sydney/Australia and all works out I'd be happy to help.

Via Flickr: Raphael Mhashilkar is a jewellery maker from Sydney. He draws a lot of inspiration from his roots and designs and produces amazing ornaments. Later in the day I met him at the Surry Hills Markets at the jewellery stall. This is what he told me: “I can’t go by a jewellery stall without looking at it. I like getting few interesting bits and creating something from it” He wore few pieces from made by him, and they were astonishingly beautiful. If you’re after something original and pretty then go to his website: www.mhashilkar.com/Home Shot in Surry Hills with Hasselblad 500CM on TX400, developed in Rodinal.

There’s too much to say about Hilton. Best if you watch couple of his videos on YouTube.
He’s a professional dancer with successful carrier who experienced glory and setbacks.
Here’s a short film which talks about his life challenges and how he has overcome them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeMmYwv_3nE
Here, Hilton is trying a jacket at one of the Surry HIlls Markets stalls. I hope he got it, as it really looked great on him.

James Weinert is an illustrator and here he’s posing with few of his illustrations. I love his Tiger Burger piece! He was a great guy to chat to, and I insisted on his glasses staying on for the shot.
